The Mets will be all right. But it didn’t feel that way to them Tuesday.
Cohen who famously told The Post upon agreeing to the $315 million, 12-year deal with Correa in the wee hours of Dec. 21, “We needed one more thing, and this is it,” had very few words upon being asked if he’d like to comment on Correa slipping off to mid-market Minneapolis. Actually, just one.And that one word said it all. Enthusiasm could be felt through the phone lines back on Dec. 21, when he also told The Post about the Correa signing, “This was important … this puts us over the top.
Nobody was about to celebrate a billionaire 20 times over — we are estimating based on the report Cohen was up 10 percent in 2022, a disaster of a year for most of us financially — getting the chance to hold onto approximately 0.23 percent of his net worth .There will be time for regret and recriminations later if anyone wants to engage in that national pastime.
Once this got into the hands of lawyers, the Mets seemed to focus on risk rather than greatness and maybe even value. They spent two-plus weeks trying to mitigate their exposure, and the result is that their final offer guaranteed $42.5 million less to Correa than the Twins’ deal did.
